A person with
Huntington’s disease
50% chance of
has a _____
passing the disorder on to
their offspring.
Problem:
Symptoms of disorder usually don’t show
until ____________
MIDDLE AGE . . .
so you don’t know you have it until
________
AFTER you have had children.
THINK ABOUT IT
Click to hear
Woody’s song
What does the song
have to do with
human genetics?
“This Land is My Land” was written by a musician
named Woody Guthrie before he began to
show the symptoms of Huntington’s disease.
Woody Guthrie had a
son named Arlo that
was a popular musician
during the 70’s
Click to hear one
of Arlo’s songs
Before 1993 there was no test for
Huntington’s.
If one of your parents showed symptoms,
you had to wait to see if it had been
passed on to you.
http://www.jimdirden.com/woodyfest2004/artists/index_3.htm
Arlo Guthrie is still
performing today.
He never developed symptoms
for Huntington’s disease.
If there is no cure, would YOU
want to be tested and find out if
you have the gene?
